Wind Beneath Wings

 

Today, we took a break from work to try to get our kite to fly out in the recently mowed hay field. The wind switched directions several times, and though our kite flew, it was short lived and a struggle to keep the wind beneath it’s wings.

It was a delight to forget the challenges and weights of life while looking skyward and feeling the pull of the wind’s energy wanting to take the kite higher and higher. Alas, the length of our kite string held our colorful toy too low to rise into the currents enjoyed by the gliding birds who were also enjoying a beautiful September afternoon on the cusp of cold weather.
